 twenty degrees below zero last winter, and came

 shade. So many persons write us asking for plants 

 suitable for shady places. Well, Begonia Evansiana 

 will fill the bill. It is a wonderful, beautiful Be- 

 gonia, having pendulous flowers in large racemes 

 almost covering the entire plant. Color a sparkling

 productions in the flower line that has ever been 

 brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the 

 first of a new type which has been obtained bv 

 hybridization and rigid selection through a series 

 of years. Its first qualification is extreme hard- 

 iness. Second, it is perennial, blooming better and 

 more abundantly each season. Third, it is not par- 

 ticular as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for several 

 months. Fifth, the flowers are extremely large 

 and graceful, averaging about four inches in diam- 

 eter, with petals of the purest glistening whiteness, 

 which are borne on single, long, stiff, wiry stems.

 other flower can compare with it in usefulness.
